The X-ray i understand since all the stuff was sitting in storage (although what was he supposedly going on for that let him into a crime scene? I dint remember). But the way his victims seemed so collected and calm was rather creepy.

I know in Murphy that the ex will have to come back and I'm not looking forward to it. I love that there's so much cute rom com right at the beginning when in a lot if the kdramas it doesn't start until the middle.

Oh whoa...sorry for the bold texts! I messed up my formatting. I was meant to close it off earlier :(

Can I explain Blood? Can anyone? What I hate is that they didn't show things but just vaguely hinted at what would happen.

Jisung did die which is why our heroine was confused but if you remember his cells are like miraculously regenerative. In the final episide they said he could probably even live without a heart. So presumably he died and then the cells kept working...and when he died they collected what they needed to create the vaccine for the patients. All assumed. So annoying they don't show it, especially when they build up the personal story of the little girl and her dad. What I still dint understand is why they could only make a vaccine if he died - like why would decomposed blood removed from him not be the same?! And Hyun Woo I think was purely for emotionally impact. Grrrr.

In the other one I don't think the clue was for Choi because the initial clue was just said our loud - when would Choi hear it? And I know that guy is switching shows but I also think a big character needed to die in order to amp the tension and pressure.

Hi LJH
Well, based on the BLOOD wrap up party, the writer confirmed it's a happy ending. Likely, ParkJi Sang "resurrected" due to his blood. As Dr Jung noted he could live or survive without a heart since his blood is special, "unique with its self vitality". Something to ponder:
1. Did his blood revive him after he was buried? Or did Dr Jung inject him so that Park Ji Sung can accomplish some impossible mission...
2. Was he aware that there were others infected and so, he sought them out in Kochenia?
3. Why didn't he make his presence known to Rita for the past 12 months? Is it because he wanna hide his presence to protect her?
4. And finally he appeared in front of her coz he has to fight off the bad guys...and well, I guess he just want to be reunited with her.
5. He didn't seem to appear as a vampire and yet he possessed remarkable strength in fighting off the bad vamps at the dark alley... Could it be that he has turned human but acquired additional strength from his special blood? In an earlier episode he did fight off the security guards and he claimed he was a good "fighter" to Dr Lee Jae Wook.

Yeah I wasn't really expecting a "deeper" explanation for why he mixed up the girls. I just assumed the house was dark and he didn't look closely at the girl in the hospital since all the details matched and he wanted to do it quickly and get out of there.

I will have to check out the site mentioned as well. I think I have most of the people straight, or at leas their allegiances, but like...I sort of miss who actually attacked the silver caravan, etc. It does rather suck that he doesn't seem to have a single person who's really on his side.

Oh yeah, there's definitely a big jump between those scenes. It's just that the gap is when all the good stuff happens! They really drew out some unnecessary scenes and then didn't have time left for resolutions. Frustrating. I dunno, I wasn't even satisfied with the characters. I thought there were some inconsistencies and the growth didn't feel natural. I think this is mostly the script/directing though. I mean there were some nice moments but they felt like moments to me....not flowing storylines. Sorry to be all grumpy. I'm glad if people enjoyed it. DF had a billion fangirls in the comments who loved it (well, up until that ending lol).

Thanks for the link! I will definitely read over the weekend. I'm pretty sucked in and don't plan on dropping it but I've never gone before 24 episodes and while I like Sageuk it's sometimes just hard for me to get through so I fall behind easily. We'll see though - this could be the one to change me! Plus I'm excited for our young boys to grow up!

I don't think it's really supposed to be that the face changes but more that features aren't recognized as distinctive so it's like looking at a million other faces. That's what I got anyway. Not that I think it's possible to accurately portray but I have bigger issues with the show (still enjoying it though).

But it's a thousand times better than the thing they did in Hannibal - where the witness only saw a face without ANY features, basically just a blank surface.

Also, the changing features of the faces in Smell-Girl are in their own way incredibly creepy. Brrr.

I have always been face blind, but I didn't recognize it until after I was married. (I think it's not uncommon for kids to think, "everyone is like this," and ignore, or find ways to deal with differences.) I've always had difficulty remembering people, but I didn't realize it as a “disorder.” When I was in high school I used to remember what my friends wore in order to pick them out. (I am so glad I didn't go to a school with uniforms.) I get migraines, but I have never associated that with my Prosopagnosia. I have learned to cope with it by faking that I know someone until I either recognize them, or they don't know that I have no clue who I'm talking to. I'm pretty good at that. My personality is such that I am uncomfortable making people uncomfortable—I'm not a boat rocker, I'm a nurturer.

It might help if you know that my mind is just a big black blank. In my head I can hear people talking (that's how I write fiction, I hear it, but I don't picture or imagine any images.) When I think of (for example) my oldest son, I remember his hair color, his general height and build. And sometimes if I concentrate really hard I can bring up a photo that I've seen of him many times. But I can't “see” him in my mind.
(I can't “see” anyone.)

I don't have a severe case. I have heard of people who are so face blind that they will forget who someone is WHILE they are having a conversation with them. That has never happened to me.

But if (for example) my daughter was wearing something I'd never seen her wear, and especially if she had a different hair style OR color, and if she walked by me, and didn't make eye contact, it is probable that I wouldn't recognize her. (I have, seen her in church from about 20 feet away, and thought, “that's a cute girl.” and then, as I get closer and she smiles at me I realized she was my daughter.)

My worst experience because of this was when I was in college. We lived at the bottom of a hill. It was over a mile to campus and often friends would give us a lift. One afternoon I was by myself, and late for class. A car pulled up and the driver smiled and asked if I wanted a ride to school. I thought, “he must know me, or my roommates” so I got in. Soon it was evident that he didn't know me. And he started talking scary about skipping class and going up to the mountains for some “fun.” I said, “I'm not going to class. I'm late for a doctor's appointment.” (The University Health Center was the first building at the top of the hill.) “If I don't show up they'll call my apartment and my roommates will have people looking for me.” (It was a lie, but it worked. He let me out at the Health Center.) At this time I still didn't know I was face blind. (I had never even heard of the condition.) I went to class, but I couldn't concentrate. At that time, I didn't tell anyone, not even my roommates. I was so ashamed that I couldn't remember what he looked like. I felt guilty, because what if he...

Actually same here, I'm a little confused with the casting...I thought Lee Yubi is the lead now right?

It will be on May 26th if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, best actor category is a battlefield LOL all nominees are great in their drama and all are considered veteran so I'm nervously waiting.
Don't know if Baeksang rewards ratings but well both Punch and Misaeng deserve it.

If I'm not mistaken JCW was nominated for popularity award in last year's Baeksang for Empress Ki. I remember comments in dramabeans were cursing Baeksang for not including Empress Ki and Nine in any acting categories (but seriously, last year's nomination was a joke, I like this year better).
Maybe because Healer appeals more to international audiences than to Korean? I know it got good reviews (and it's indeed good) there but the hype was incomparable to, let's say, Misaeng/Punch/KMHM. Well, it's not like I can see through the judge's eyes though. Maybe they have other considerations.

kanz, which of the nominees would you drop in favor of JCW? I guess they are only allowed 5. Its a genuine question. Even though I enjoyed the series, I can't see his performance as Healer upstaging any of the current nominees.
I must say I am pleasantly surprised that both KRW and Cho Jae Hyun got best actor nominations for the same series. If it was any other award show, one of them would be labelled the lead and the other, supporting actor.

I know what you mean! This is the last semester of my MA and this year has had a sever lack of drama watching for my part. Progress is slow to non excistant for new dramas :p

Chanyoel is a cute one! The new exo albume was my essay-work music for my essays that was due last week. They are sorta sniking up on me as a group :p

Thanks luv!

Yes its the new one with uhm noona and that young guy and cutie soo (i am terrible terrible with names)
